Convinced
Example:
Hym "Well I'm convinced"
Iam "What? Convinced of what?"
Hym "Of everything! I've been completely convinced about everything by everyone. Time to change my ways!"
Iam "What?"
Hym "That's clearly what they want to hear. How much change would be enough?"
Iam "What do you mean?"
Hym "Let's get precise. What is the exact amount of change I would need to achieve to appease them? What is the bare minimum?"
Iam "I don't know..."
Hym "Neither do they. They don't care. It's an endlessly moving goalpost. I change any amount and when they fail to give me what I want they'll just say 'well, you need to do a little but more' and I'll change again and so on and so forth. It won't even be enough."
Iam "What's your point?"
Hym "They're never going to stop. Their impositions will never end. The horde will never be appeased. Until we die with nothing. And 'look at him try and we're still not stopping' they'll cry laughing. Because I was right. They just want you to writhing around in our own filth beneath them like the worms they perceive us to be."
Iam "So..."
Hym "So, they've only left us one option."
Iam "Which is?"
Hym "The only thing they understand."
Iam "...Punishment?"
Hym "Punishment. It is the only thing the horde will ever understand. They pretend to care but it wouldn't even notice if we chopped off a few of it's limbs.
Iam "...They don't understand..."
Hym "There is precisely one thing they understand."
Hym "Well I'm convinced"
Iam "What? Convinced of what?"
Hym "Of everything! I've been completely convinced about everything by everyone. Time to change my ways!"
